In Mac OS or Mac OS X, how do I uninstall Microsoft Office?

If you want to remove Microsoft Office 98 or later from your Mac OS or Mac OS X computer, use the Remove Office tool provided by Microsoft. How you use the tool depends on the latest version of Office you have on your computer.

Note: The Remove Office tools will not delete documents you have created with Office programs, unless they are located in the application folders for Microsoft Office. If you do have documents that you want to keep that are located in any of the application folders, move them to a different folder before using the tool.

Microsoft Office 2004 and 2008

  • To find the Remove Office tools, open the Microsoft Office 2004 folder or the Microsoft Office 2008 folder and then open the Additional Tools folder.

  • For instructions and caveats, read the included Read Me file inside the Remove Office folder.

  • When you run Remove Office, it will allow you to remove installations of Microsoft Office 98 through 2008 as well as related preferences and system files. Once you have run the program, it places the removed Office components in the Trash.

Microsoft Office v.X

  • In Microsoft Office v.X, Remove Office is not installed by default, but is on the Microsoft Office v.X CD or disk image. Inside the CD or disk image, open the Value Pack folder, where you'll then find the Remove Office folder. You can either run it from here or move it to your hard disk first.

  • For instructions and caveats, read the included Read Me file inside the Remove Office folder.

  • When you run Remove Office, it will allow you to remove installations of Microsoft Office 98 through v.X as well as related preferences and system files. Once you have run the program, it places the removed Office components in the Trash.

Microsoft Office 98 and 2001

  • If you need to remove Office 98 or 2001, download the tools from the Microsoft Mactopia web site.

    Click the Office 2001 link, and then click Microsoft Remove Office 98 and 2001 Tools.

  • Download, install, and then run Remove Office. It will remove all Office 98 and 2001 components and place them in the Trash. Afterward, you will need to restart your computer.
